RHB Banking Group has unveiled a new and improved version of its mobile banking app, designed to offer users a faster, more secure, and intuitive digital banking experience. This launch aligns with the bank’s broader digitalisation goals under its three-year PROGRESS27 strategy.
A Smarter, Safer Mobile Banking Experience
The revamped app features a sleek, redesigned interface that improves both usability and speed. Security has also been significantly upgraded, with the inclusion of biometric authentication, SecurePlus transaction protection, and safeguards against malicious apps.
According to Jeffrey Ng, Managing Director of Group Community Banking at RHB:
“The new RHB MBK App reflects our ongoing commitment to making banking more accessible, seamless, and secure for all Malaysians. We’ve built this app around the user, empowering customers to manage their finances anytime, anywhere—with confidence.”
Introducing Malaysia’s First Banking Widget
One of the most innovative features of the update is a home screen widget—the first of its kind in Malaysia’s banking landscape. This widget allows users to perform essential transactions like payments and fund transfers without even opening the app, bringing true convenience to mobile banking.
Integrated Features for Everyday Banking
In addition to the widget, the app now includes:
- Multi-Currency Account (MCA) support for buying and selling foreign currencies at competitive rates
- Direct reward point redemption within the app
- A comprehensive dashboard showing all account and card balances at a glance
Strong Customer Reception
User feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. On the Google Play Store, the app’s rating has surged from 3.5 to 4.7, while maintaining a 4.8 rating on the Apple App Store.
Driving QR Code Payment Adoption with PayNet
To celebrate the launch, RHB has partnered with PayNet for a rewards campaign encouraging QR code payments via DuitNow QR. Running from 1 May to 31 October 2025, customers who transact with DuitNow QR stand a chance to win a share of RM450,000 in cashback rewards. Each RM10 transaction counts as five entries into the prize draw.
Azrul Fakhzan Mainor, Senior Director of Commercial at PayNet, said:
“As the national payments infrastructure provider, PayNet values this collaboration with RHB in driving the adoption of secure, seamless digital payments. DuitNow QR usage among RHB customers grew by 190% in 2024—far outpacing the industry average.”
Available Now
The updated RHB Mobile Banking App is available for download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
